birdie rescue

I went grocery shopping earlier today and when I got home I noticed a bird stuck in the bird feeder. Luckily the feeder is in line with my car window. Otherwise I wouldn't have seen him.

I tried to pull him out, but he was stuck in one of the wire openings with his wing hung around the wire opening next to it. I grabbed a screw driver from the garage thinking I could pry the staples off the wire enclosure and pull it off the feeder, but that didn't work; the screwdriver head was too big. I then grabbed needle nose pliers with wire cutters on the head. I clipped the wires and then bent them apart. It took a couple tries, but the bird was able to get free and fly away.

I'm so glad he wasn't hurt. He was very calm, too, and didn't screech or try to peck me.

About Me

My name is Dawn and I'm a weight loss surgery (“WLS”) patient. After 20+ years of trying everything I could think of to lose weight and keep it off, I had a gastric bypass on 12/23/13 at the age of 39. It took me 10 years to make the decision to have surgery; it’s not a minor thing to be taken lightly. Many people say that WLS patients should journal or blog about their experiences so, when the going gets tough, they can look back and see all the progress they made. For me, it’s more about just getting my experiences out there. Maybe someone else is going through the same issues I am. I blog about products I love (or despise), my cats (I'm a "crazy cat lady"), my weight loss, and whatever else I want to toss in there.
